Ideally you'll come at the Man O' War from a 45 degree angle, so your broadside cannons are in line with the rear corner of the Man O' War. Attack with the mortar as you close the distance to the ship, and steer for the back side of the Man O' War. If you use the heavy shot (main cannons on the right or left side of the ship) to do it, you'll complete the optional objective as well. You need to incapacitate the Man O' War ship. Once you're at the wheel, it's time for a little pay back. Follow that path and you'll make it back to the wheel of the Jackdaw within the one minute time limit. There's essentially a path laid out for you, clear of the fire. If you run into the fire, you will take heavy damage. Just make sure you avoid any and all fire.

Run straight forward and get your acrobatics into high gear. Hold on to your pants, because the island is being bombarded with cannon fire and you have to make it back to the Jackdaw. Kill four of them to complete the optional objective. There are multiple opportunities to take out the guards from your hiding places along the left side. When it's time to eavesdrop on the conversation, run up to the brush just ahead on the left and continue to hide along the left side to avoid the soldiers while you listen in on the conversation. At this point, hide in the brush as you continue to follow him. He's very paranoid, so you need to hide in the crowds of people until he reaches the restricted area. Upgrade the heavy shot strength, broadside cannons and mortar in that order for any additional upgrades to the ship.Īfter a quick cut scene with Blackbeard announcing his retirement, you must trail the strange fellow that stared you down. This is the absolute minimum, but if you upgrade further, you'll have a much easier time with the mission. The bare minimum to be successful at this mission would be two tiers of hull armor, three tiers for the broadside cannons, two tiers for round shot strength, one tier for the mortar and two tiers for the heavy shot. Take your time and plunder along the way to your destination, or fast travel to Abaco Island (606,835) to cut your travel time, then sail north to the mission start point.īefore you start the mission, it will make things MUCH easier if you upgrade the Jackdaw.


Make your way to the wheel of the Jackdaw and set sail to start the mission. You now find yourself at Edward's hideout, Great Inagua. Use heavy shot to incapacitate the Man O' War
